bad saints - obscure krautrock '72 7'' ep help, need info

[wahwahwow1]

Hi,

I think this is an obscure neopsychband from the first half of the 80`s.

Drums and bass have the typically 80´s sound...

[leblogjetable]

You should look after Ash Ra Tempel ,Richard Wahnfried (Klaus Shultze) or Manuel Götshing's works in the early 70's.

[guitar16]

no way this is 1972.....MAYBE late 70's or early 80s....but no way this is early 70's. goodluck with seeking info although i highly doubt it

[videopawz]

definitely not. there is technology on these recordings that did not exist in 1972

[SurvivalOfTheHippest]

oops, double post. didnt work first time

[SurvivalOfTheHippest]

you could ask that guy with that blog out there: mutant sounds.

He may know something, he's all over such stuff

[SurvivalOfTheHippest]

yeah, definately new wavish

ask that guy with that obscure new wave blog:

mutant sounds

maybe he knows something. if the blog still exists

[hypnosfera1980]

this is the best song from the ep

[mchetakuso]

What an incredible find!

Good luck finding out what it is.

[twilightdimension]

thats around 1982 , vocals are new wave and drum machine beats not 1972. I collect shit from the early 70's and this is new wave

[LHUPA]

It's very surprising! You have made a powerful "recycling" by taking off these records from a trashbox! For me, it seems to be a 80's band. Remark the charecteristic sound of this music it sounds like 80's punk! I think that's a "new wave" punk band! In the first part of this decade, New Wave music was the "trip"!

[deepintoblues]

That is freakin' AWESOME!

[videopawz]

The singer kind of sounds like iggy pop at the beginning. See my comment to #2. I don't think this is from 1972.

[up2space]

It could be '72 the first two stooges albums where released in '69 & '70, and this singer seems to emulate Iggy's style and even the recording of Iggy's voice on the first Stooges album. This is a great find, though.

[videopawz]

The reason I say it probably isn't from '72 is that in one of the other songs from this record there is what sounds like a drum machine with digital samples. The first drum machine with digital samples came out in 1980. See the video for track #2.

@videopawz

Groups like "Faust" or "Can" uses that kind of samples using tapes in the earlly 70's.

Sounds distorsions you can ear in this track exists in the last 60's and were used by garage or"krautrock" groups.

If you 're not connviced,you can listen to the early "concrete music" composers.

[videopawz]

@leblogjetable in this song you don't hear the drum samples. It is in the other track, labeled "bad saints 2." It is clearly a drum machine using digital samples. You can hear it in the way it is sequenced and the sounds used. It did not exist in 1972.

This one I could believe is '72, but the other one is a drum machine with digital samples. Linn drum or EMU or something like that. The sound is distinctive and is different from a drum loop on tape.
